I agree...I love many people without any risk to my own identity and security, but when I fall in love, I seem to lose sight of me...Although I am interested in meeting new people, I am determined this time to make sure that when I fall in love again, I will maintain me as a strong and viable individual...and am so looking forward to it...cuz I know the fear will be gone and I will be enhancing, not losing...I hope...
I canned foods for a lot of years. Although there is no expiry date, they usually recommend within a year...I found that usually the products were okay for a couple years (especially fruits and jams), but I was always cautious...if it doesn't look or smell right don't take chances...If storage areas are less than optimum, don't go over a year.
Sometimes it is difficult because the honesty may hurt someone. However, she is right, it is better to do it as soon as possible and not let it drag on. Rarely does a person have to be rude to end a relationship or a date, but there are times when the individual just doesn't get it...And I find that happens more online than in real life...
Oh my...it has been a very long time since I felt this naive...I thought this was going to be about the pro's and cons of eating meat...literally...*blushing a bit* And I am admitting it caught me off guard... Actually, controlled and medically inspected is how it should be...drug screens? My understanding is that individuals in that line of work often tend to need some sort of escape to help them deal with it...Hmmm...except for the real high priced ones...they can afford other escapes...like shopping and traveling
*nodding and smiling* Okay, but please do not assume to know what I have been through, or to diagnose...it is not PTS ... I have had the balls to admit I was depressed...the situation was compounded...
I have been diagnosed with "stress reactive depression"...and after the terminal illness of my spouse and the "hell" I went through....I do understand and can relate to what you are saying about this topic as well...*shrugging* Hate to say "been there, done that" but it applies.
It is impossible to accurately relate to the difficulties of the disorders unless a person has experienced them personally...but having family members who have been diagnosed does provide an individual with some of the qualities necessary to empathize...And I don't mean to minimize or discount...just can relate...
dominoes20.....maybe it is time to let go of the dream and see what is really available...I know it is risky, but you seem like a nice guy who deserves more than the hypothetical....
I really don't profess to know or understand, but I have found that we tend to go through the same cycles with the same types of individuals til we solve the issues....It seems to be a subconscious issue til we become aware and then we are responsible...(and I do know how to spell couple...terrible typo syndrome)
That is bizarre....I know a coupel people diagnosed as bi-polar and I work in an environment with its share of dysfunctional or unusual individuals...I don't mean to be rude, but I want to ask what your are doing to attract...*very tentatively* \
Actually, in all truthfulness, it has been so long since I was on a date (the reason I am tentatively putting my toe in the water here) that I would stammer and not know how to respond, and I realize that age is not a factor...*laughing*..As if!
*sighing* Although Love knows no boundaries, life and circumstances do... I have a provincial job which does not translate into inter-provincial, or international. For me to maintain a self-supporting lifestyle, I have to stay in Saskatchewan....but I know if I found love elsewhere, I would consider all options...and heaven help anyone who deigned to interfere...I would consider anything as long as relationship was mutual....And I always wanted to be a Gypsy...*grin*
I have always had serious issues with trust, but have learned that it can be dealt with by degrees. Very few make it to the inner realms, but I have broadened the parameters of the outer areas and I do so want to be able to learn to trust more...Freiendship provides an excellent forum to explore the intricacies of trust...but I am still hesitant...Always have the army and artillary in wait....*sighing*
What exactly is a good girl or a bad girl...because I am thinking, if someone is too bad...that could be a good thing and if too good, definitely a bad thing...I think the terms have to be relative and I'm thinking....I am always interested in bad...so that is good, right?
Unfortunately, on occasion, when the profile is deficit, I tend to fill in the blanks.....Not conducive to the reality of the situation....Down, down imagination, you are leading me astray.... I am not a princess, but "beauty and the beast" can rear its ugly head....
Hmmm....a nice guy....wonderful illusion, but what lies beneath can be much more than the iceberg reveals...*smiling* The fact that you have responded to posts after your "warning" indicates you are not ready to go quietly....use your smarts...
Waverider...awesome idea for a forum...Not too many would have the b#lls to do it...I am at a real disadvantage because I can't post a pic...*shrugging* But I understand the store is closed..Too bad...shouldn't react to the negative, especially since it is not necessarily right.
I always try to reply, but I am very hesitant to send initially...feel that I am imposing...isn't that terrible, but I guess I shall have to practise and Max out ...has never happened!
Hmmmm....anyone wants to ask, I will say....and if there is someway of posting a pic that isn't open to general public access...I am game...*smiling* I don't know how else to do it or I would...*shrugging* You know it feels like I am a spirit and not real...anyone find that?
I would like to introduce myself...my name is Kay...Unfortunately, I am employed in an environment which makes it necessary to conceal aspects of my life for security reasons....I do not post a picture and avoid being explicit about my job because it is necessary. I am not in a relationship and I make every effort to be honest, so if anyone wants to know something, please ask...but I find these forums very interesting (also the people who contribute), and I would like to participate...and would like to be accepted, in spite of these limitations...Thankyou for taking the time to read this
Years ago, I cheated on someone in a relationship and still regret .. I can only imagine what you have gone through but want you to know that some of us have had a hard time living with terrible decisions like that. The word mistake seems far too minimal, and I can only say that we get back what we put out, and what goes around comes around...I would never again cheat on someone I was with, and I do give my all to relationships...to the extreme where I am willing to sacrifice my health to care for someone I love.
And now I am going to jump in with both feet....Been online for a couple months, chatted with several, and met a couple of the gents I have been chatting with...decided to go all out and see what happens...have a bed buddy that I met online...chemistry was good...but both of us are afraid of being tied down, but finding that as we spend more time together, we are wanting to get to know each other better....This is not something I have ever done before, but thought I would give it a try, so I guess that what I am saying, anything goes....and when two people are interested, then the relationship must accomodate their needs....*deep breath* Oh my...
My mother always told me that I should find a rich man and marry him for his money...and take care of her....Thus began my lifelong search for Love...I have not married for money, and could never imagine myself doing that. Mind you, if a person marries so superficially, there would not be the pain of loss...nor the ecstasy and exhileration of Love. I have friends who could be considered rich, and found that they have difficulty getting beyond trying to impress and protect their money and themselves. I value relationships and friendships which are not focused on the superficial aspects of materialism. That is not to say that I don't enjoy stuff, but I would never trade the fireworks, the butterflies, the chemistry, and the exhileration of the relationships I have had for one rift with money.
